Termed/resigned while on FMLA Nevada

02-04-2010, 06:34 PM

I am receiving short term disability insurance payments while on FMLA; Sun Life (short term Disability Company) told me Feb.10 was when my short term expired
Last night my roommate told me to call HR because word of mouth is that I am fired. I called HR to verify this and the director of HR told me my leave of absence had expired and they were giving me a choice to resigned or be termed, My company out sources this service to a company called A.R.C (absence resource center) I called them and found out my case manager was fired so I did not receive any letters or phone calls. The new case manager is starting an investigation. What should I do? Should I get a lawyer? Is it legal to term me while on FMLA?

Comment

FMLA is 6 weeks after my surgery which was Dec 17, 2009. I spoke to the case manager at A.R.C and they told me there was a lapse of communication. However, they have jeopardize my job of 14 yrs. because they told my director I had expired my Leave of absense.

Comment

Good point! However, when my Director told me on the phone I had 2 chioces to resign or be termed. It sounded like my job was in jeopardy. I called ARC and have them on record admitting they made a mistake. I am taking this to my HR on monday..

I also found out I am STD which is 6 months which I went over but they didnt inform me or send me a letter about my hours been expired. ARC case manager admitted it was there fault about the lack of communication..

Comment

Start date for STD is 8-2-2009, end is 2-2-2009, However my surgery was postponed to 12-17-2009 and recover for that is 3 months, Doctor discharge date is 2-18-200, I faxed the Dr paper work to them in Jan 2009. FMLA started 6 weeks after the initial surgery which was 12-17-2009.

If you've been totally out since August, that is WAY more than the 12 weeks of job-protected leave under FMLA. Therefore, it would be legal for the employer to terminate your employment. Being on short-term disability does not protect your job; only FMLA does that.

Good point. If you are given that choice (resign or be terminated), rarely would it be to your advantage to resign. It would be to your disadvantage if you resigned when applying for unemployment ins.
